ABOUT ME

currently living and working in Shanghai, finishing up my masters degree and loving my life with the best friends, BF and city in the world!

i love to travel and plan more than anything! try new things, meet new people, learn

im a huge runner, yogie and super clean and maybe a little anal but overall pretty down for anything ever as long as i keep moving and people are chill and open

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have couch surfed many times and had great experiences! I think its a super awesome way to travel, learn and meet people and share cultural exchange experiences.

I'm also super cheap and just love meeting new people and getting an inside tip on where to go and what to do :)

finally now i'm a big girl with an apartment and a boyfriend so we are up for trying out giving back for once!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travels I suppose- India was most life changing for sure.

Most amazing experience though honestly has been getting to know and becoming close with my estranged/strange family in the past couple years. Transylvania University shaped my life and I owe it and my community everything. I want to continue to learn but full well plan to return to empart knowledge on those farthest, nevertheless dearest to my heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a few words in Spanish, and French..and a few more in English :)

I am a certified Ashtanga Yoga teacher and I've been told I give some real damn good life advice- whether I can follow it myself or not.

I am a good cook- make a mean Biscuits and Gravy and the best damn pancakes in the world (in western kitchens :/ ) and I clean like nobody's business. I also am an early riser and a great running buddy- i don't let up and I'll push you in a good way :)

Lastly I think my experiences abroad have definitely widened my horizons and I can contribute to a very diverse conversation. (Been to India, South America, Turkey and Spain- each for some time).

What I Can Share with Hosts

experiences and a couch in return :)
